Running a small business in today’s world isn’t easy. Between managing stock, keeping customers happy, and making sure sales are recorded correctly, there’s a lot on your plate. That’s why more and more small business owners in New Zealand are switching to POS (Point of Sale) systems instead of relying on old-fashioned cash registers.
In 2025, having the right POS system isn’t just convenient—it’s a must-have tool for growth and efficiency. Here’s why:
1. Faster, Smoother Transactions
Customers today expect quick service. A POS system speeds up sales by processing payments instantly—whether it’s cash, card, or contactless. Unlike traditional registers, a modern POS doesn’t just ring up sales, it makes the checkout experience seamless.
👉 With Simply POS, you can even get EFTPOS included, making payments faster and more professional for your business.
2. Better Inventory Management
How often have you run out of stock without realizing it—or over-ordered products that didn’t sell? A POS system helps you track your inventory in real time. Every sale updates your stock levels automatically, so you always know what’s on your shelves.
This means:
- No more guesswork
- Less wastage
- Happier customers (because you always have what they need)
3. Simple Business Insights & Reports
Running a business is easier when you have the right data. POS systems generate reports that show you:
- Your best-selling products
- Daily/weekly/monthly sales trends
- Which staff members sell the most
- What times of day are busiest
Instead of guessing, you can make smarter business decisions backed by real numbers.
4. Professional Image for Your Business
Imagine your customers paying with their card and seeing you pull out a slow, clunky EFTPOS machine—or worse, asking them for cash only. In 2025, customers expect speed and convenience. A tablet POS system with a sleek EFTPOS terminal makes your business look modern and trustworthy.
👉 Simply POS offers tablet POS combos starting from just $35 per week, making it affordable for even the smallest businesses.
5. Save Time and Reduce Error
Manual entry means mistakes—wrong pricing, missed sales, or mismatched cash. A POS automates the process, reducing human error and saving you hours of admin every week. That’s more time for what matters: serving your customers and growing your business.
6. Affordable for Small Businesses
Some small business owners think POS systems are expensive, but that’s no longer true. With affordable weekly and monthly rental options, even startups and sole traders can get a complete POS setup.
For example, Simply POS offers:
- Tablet POS Combo: From $35 + GST per week (includes tablet, software, cash drawer, receipt printer & FREE EFTPOS).
- Cash Register Combo: From $99 + GST per month (with free EFTPOS included).
- EFTPOS Terminals: From just $1 per day, with no admin fees and free installation.
That means you can upgrade your business for less than the cost of a coffee a day!
7. Future-Proof Your Business
Technology is moving fast. Customers are using contactless, mobile wallets, and even QR payments more than ever before. By upgrading to a POS system now, you’re preparing your business for the future.
Instead of struggling to keep up later, you’ll already have the tools to accept any payment type and keep your customers happy.
